The South East Europe Media Organisation (SEEMO), an affiliate of the International Press Institute (IPI), is a regional non-governmental, non-profit network of editors, media executives and leading journalists from newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations, news agencies and new media in South East Europe. With its committees, SEEMO aims to create a bridge between international media activities and the media developments in the region.

SEEMO was founded in October 2000 in Zagreb, Croatia, by a group of leading editors-in-chief, media executives and professors of journalism and communications from South East Europe, in the presence of representatives of international institutions and with financial support of the International Press Institute (IPI).

SEEMO has over 400 editors-in-chief, media executives and leading journalists from South East Europe as individual members, and over 100 media outlets and institutions as corporate members.

During the last four years, SEEMO has assembled over 3,000 editors-in-chief, media executives, leading journalists and public persons from the region in various meetings. Some of these meetings, like the meeting of editors-in-chief and media executives from Belgrade (Serbs) and Pristina (Kosovo-Albanians), were the first of this kind in history. No one before SEEMO managed to gather such high-level media representatives from Belgrade and Pristina in a meeting. Between 2002 and 2004 SEEMO organised 14 Dialogue meetings between editors-in-chief, media executives and leading journalists from South East Europe.

SEEMO Secretary General is Oliver Vujovic.

SEEMO Board President is Radomir Licina, senior editor of the daily Danas (Serbia).

SEEMO Board members: Agron Barjami (editor-in-chief Koha Ditore daily, Pristina), Boris Bergant (deputy director RTV Slovenia, Ljubljana and EBU vice-president), Pavol Mudry (director SITA news agency, Bratislava), Marta Palics (editor, RTV Novi Sad, Novi Sad), Jorgos Papadakis (journalist, Athens) and Zrinka Vrabec Mojzes (editor, Radio 101, Zagreb).
